Description

This update has a large number of changes from previous Fedora packages; the highlights are as follows: - Update to upstream release 1.3.2a - Fix SQL injection vulnerability at login (#485125, CVE-2009-0542) - Fix SELinux compatibility (#498375) - Fix audit logging (#506735) - Fix default configuration (#509251) - Many new loadable modules including mod_ctrls_admin and mod_wrap2 - National Language Support (RFC 2640) - Enable/disable common features in /etc/sysconfig/proftpd
